NFL Declines to Discipline Lions' Jameson Williams Over Gun Incident
The league has closed its investigation into the October 2024 traffic stop where Williams was found with an unlicensed firearm, clearing him of any penalties.
- Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams will not face NFL discipline after being found with an unlicensed firearm during a traffic stop in October 2024.
- Williams and his brother were pulled over for speeding, and police discovered two registered guns in the vehicle, but Williams lacked a concealed carry license at the time.
- The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office declined to press charges in November 2024, and Williams later obtained the necessary concealed pistol license.
- This decision by the NFL allows Williams to focus on the offseason, where he is eligible for a contract extension or a fifth-year option decision by the Lions.
- Williams had a standout 2024 season, recording 1,001 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, despite missing two games due to a suspension for performance-enhancing drugs.
